San Francesco al Campo, the Vauda and Caselle airport
San Francesco al Campo lies on the plain north of Turin, at the start of the Canavese area, next to the Vauda, a plateau of heath and woodland separating the local towns. Turin-Caselle airport is a few kilometres away, and Ciriè, just to the west, is the local centre with a hospital, secondary schools and a railway station for Turin.
It is a residential town that grew around families working in Turin and its suburbs: detached and terraced houses and a few small blocks of flats, with more garden space than in the inner ring of suburbs. Buyers should think about the airport: depending on where the house sits in relation to the flight paths, aircraft noise may matter. The town has 4 supermarkets and 6 sports facilities.
The population is stable. Istat, the national statistics office, counted 4,832 residents in 2023, up 0.1% since 2011, practically unchanged. The average age, 45.8, is lower than in the province (47.4), with 24.4% over 65. Declared incomes are slightly below the Turin metropolitan average.
Earthquake hazard is low. The town is in seismic zone 3 under the Civil Protection Department classification, like most municipalities around Turin, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.053 g. The climate matters more: zone E at around 330 metres, where fog and cold winters make insulation and windows important.
The land is flat and crossed by small streams and channels. The report checks flood-prone areas along watercourses at the address and uses the Revenue Agency maps to trace the cadastral plot.

Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.
